The Great Temple of the Highland God of War is a small city with a population of less than 50,000, and most of its inhabitants are women, children, and the elderly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Not all of them volunteered to participate in the war, but under the circumstances, if they refused to take up arms, they would be killed by the followers of the highland god of war first.

Richard climbed a high platform and looked down at the crowd below.

"What would have happened if it wasn't me, but someone else standing here this time?"

"Do you mean those native nobles of Faro?" Quicksand said lightly, "they will turn all the people below into slaves, and in the process, at least a third of them will die." ”

Richard nodded and said, "In this case, I will feel much more comfortable, I will only turn fanatical believers into slaves." ”

The so-called good and evil of human beings are reflected in this contrast. Reilly said meaningfully.

Richard just didn't hear it.

The inhabitants of the city were driven out into the square below, where most of them were barbarians, but other races, including orcs and dwarves, and even some gnomes, were very few in number, and they were all slaves at a glance.

Richard stretched out his hand, and the crowd fell silent, waiting for the verdict of fate, most of them had only despair in their eyes, but they did not try to resist, the heavily armed warriors around them were not decorations, and they outnumbered the residents.

"There may be fanatics among you who are the gods of war in the Highlands. It's okay, you can come out and come to my right hand. You are just ordinary people, unlike those clergy, I will not force you to convert, but fanatics will be reduced to slavery, and others can continue to live here as long as they swear to renounce their belief in the highland god of war, and they will be able to get the status of civilians, I can guarantee that. ”

Richard's words caused an uproar in the crowd, an unprecedentedly generous condition that no one had ever heard of. In the history of Faro, religious wars were even more brutal than racial wars, and when a religious city was breached, its inhabitants were often killed.

For the Faroese people, fanatics are almost unconvertible, and the beliefs of shallow believers cannot be identified, and no one can be sure whether they are real shallow believers or fanatics in disguise.

Therefore, most people will use the method of slaughter to cut off the faith of the enemy.

Slowly, some people began to step out of the crowd and go to the area that Richard had demarcated, and they would live out their faith in this way. Most of them stayed, and there must have been a lot of fanatics hidden in it, who didn't know what they were going to face.

Reilly, escorted by Rivien, walked over to the crowd and said to them, "The rest, chant the incantation with me, and those who refuse to recite it are considered fanatics." ”

Instead of looking at the reactions of the men, he recited a mysterious incantation to himself. Under the threat of swords, the inhabitants began to chant along, and the soldiers of the Duchy Army constantly scanned the crowd to catch the fanatics who refused to chant the incantation. At this moment, a young girl fell to the ground screaming, rolling desperately. A moment later, a series of divine fire erupted from her mouth and nose.

The people around were shocked and retreated. What did she do?

Only then did people remember that she had just recited the incantation, could this be the reason why she had been punished by God?

"Keep reading, and no one will stop. The voices of the knights echoed through the square, and the crowd continued to chant incantations.

One fanatic after another fell to the ground and became the fuel for the divine fire.

Richard didn't pay attention to the suffering fanatics, but looked up at the sky and said loudly, "You are embarrassed to call yourself a god, what else can you do but punish your own devout believers?"

Richard's questioning spread like thunder, not only for the people in the square to hear clearly, but also in the kingdom of the highland god of war. However, he could not afford to be angry about it now.

At this time, a black aura was filling the kingdom of God, and everything it touched, whether it was the Holy Spirit or the earth, was reduced to nothingness.

Faith is a shackle that binds the gods and believers, and it also provides a channel for mutual harm. It's just that in most cases, the gods are dominant, and the believers are the objects of exploitation. However, the relationship is not immutable.

Reilly led the believers to launch the most direct attack on the highland god of war, and through the connection between those fanatical believers and the gods, he sent the power of the curse into the kingdom of God.

For the Farro gods, faith is the foundation of their existence, and Rayleigh uses believers as a medium to attack the kingdom of the highland god of war, which is equivalent to poisoning the other party's food. If this ritual lasts long enough, it may even directly lead to the fall of the highland god of war!, so he would rather lose his divine power than send down divine punishment and burn those fanatical believers to death.

The ritual was still going on, and from time to time someone was burned to death by the divine fire, others walked to the designated area on their own, and some people rushed towards Reilly, wanting to die with him, but they immediately fell under Ruiwen's sword.

When the effect of the ritual had been reduced to a negligible level, Reilly finally determined that there were no more fanatics among the remaining inhabitants, so he nodded to Richard, who asked the zealots to take them away, and then said to the remaining people, "From now on, you are the commoners of the Crimson Duchy." Soon, you will know what this status entails. ”

Under the influence of magic, Richard's voice reached everyone's ears clearly, and they walked out suspiciously, until they left the square and saw no deadly sword or magic attacking, then they were relieved and hurried home, and then the bereaved family began to weep.

In the next few days, Richard transformed the Grand Temple of the Highland God of War into the Temple of the Eternal and Time Dragons, and held a sacrifice ceremony here, this time to sacrifice the sacrifices that Richard had brought back from the Peerless Battlefield, and Quicksand once again used the Book of Time as an altar to preside over the sacrifice.

Richard sacrificed a total of nearly 100 sacrifices, and the total value was about equivalent to two top-level sacrifices, but that refers to the price of the sacrifices, in fact, the total amount of Richard received was much more than the two top-level sacrifices, but the number of sacrifices was large. The level is low, and the final result is that he has not received any truly valuable divine gifts, no bloodline ability, no strong skills, and no powerful fifth-order construction blueprints, Richard has been given several years of life, a pile of scraps and materials, and a quasi-legendary-level hammer, this two-handed hammer is unusually large, the hammer handle alone is three meters long, and the hammer head weighs several tons, and it can also release an extremely strong impact at the moment of hit. With such a heavy hammer, Richard can also handle the Minotaur and the Ogre Brothers.

In the end, Richard looked at the hourglass of time in his hand, and finally felt that he had not been so thoroughly pitted by the dragon of eternity and time, although these dewdrops of life were less, but they were better than nothing.
